IMPROVEMENT IN CHURN-POWERS.

Specification forming partof Letters Patent Nousnoo, dated June 13,1876; application filed April 8,1876.

To all whom it'may concern:

Be it known. that 1, CHARLES W. PATToN,

of Boonville, in the county of Cooper and State of Missouri, haveinvented a new and valuable Improvement in Churn-Powers; and 1' dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the construction and operation of the same, reference'being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification,and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Flgure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a plan view of mychurn-power, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of thesame.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof a churnpower, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the annexed drawing, A represents a T- shaped casting, the center armof which is to be permanently secured to the side of the churn. Thehorizontal arms of the casting A are slotted longitudinally, as shown ata a, B represents an L shaped standard, formed with a grooved lug, b, onthe under side, at the inner end, and a staple, a, near the outer end,on the under side. In attaching the standard B to the casting A, the lugb is slid into the slot 12 in the inner end of the casting, and thestaple a then passed through the slot n in the outer arm, and a key, 01,passed through the staple, thereby fastening the standard.

The standard can thus easily be attached and detached, as well asadjusted out and in to accommodate the gearing to the size ofthe churnto which it is to be applied.

At the upper end of the standard B is formed a hub, B, for the passageof a short shaft, on the inner end of which is secured the large wheelO, and on the outer end the pinion h. This pinion meshes with acog-wheel, D, mounted on a stud on the side of the standard, and saidwheel provided with a'crank, E, for rotating the device. Suitable guardsmay be arranged over the gears h D, to prevent anything getting inbetween them. In one of the spokes S of the wheel 0 are several holes,

0, in eitherone of which a crank, H, is to be pivoted, the end of saidcrank being passedthrough a vertically-slotted guide, I, attached to thestandard B, thus giving the same an upand-down motion. The churn-dasherrod is to be hung on the end of this crank, and the length of its strokeis regulated by adjusting the crank at any desired distance from thecenter of the wheel.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The T- shaped casting A, the horizontal arms of which are provided withthe grooves a n, in combination with the L-shaped standard B, carryingthe churn-power, and provid-.

ed with the grooved lug b, and staple a, and key d, substantially asdescribed, and for the purpose set forth.

111 testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.
